Tropical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellent AI3-37429-a, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Chemical, September 1978 - November 1980.
Abstract
Preliminary Hazard evaluations of the candidate insect repellent AI3-37429-a was performed by means of laboratory animal studies using rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. The technical grade chemical showed a potential for producing mild primary irritation of the intact skin and the skin surrounding an abrasion, causing mild injury to the cornea and, in addition, some injury to the conjunctiva, and some skin irritation from ethanol solutions. It caused no other irritation reactions from photochemical or sensitization testing and does not present an acute ingestion hazard. It is recommended that AI3-37429-a, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Chemical, be approved for further testing as a candidate insect repellent. (Author)
